  2. General Data Issues that Impact Accountability • Student Information System errors • Some Examples affecting accountability: • English Learners marked as speaking English only • R-FEP students Prof/Adv in Language Arts after only one year • Students receiving special ed. services without a disability code • Missing dates for students exiting special ed. services • Wrong or missing race/ethnic codes • Parent ed. Levels • Full student schedules • GATE • Incorrect student mobility information

  3. Inaccurate Data Not Just in LEUSD Student Information System American Indian in a Riverside County SIS (not LEUSD) Parents reported “white” for race/ethnicity on Registration Packet

  4. General Pitfalls with Student Data • **STAR testing in late April/early May** • Pre-ID extracted months before STAR • LEUSD Practice • Extracted in January • Demographic corrections tracked and made through end of testing • Reliance on student information systems (canned pre-id extracts) • LEUSD Practice • Customized extracts developed by technical personnel, following direction of accountability office • Frequent/common data errors • LEUSD Practice • Data with common errors affecting accountability measures are collected separately from the student information system • Used for Pre-ID, rather than using data in SIS

  5. LEUSD Student Data • Work with Key Data Systems to merge external data, identify errors, correct data, submit pre-ID • Expertise in student data, testing, and accountability rules • Continue collecting/verifying student data after pre-ID submitted • Review each individual student’s demographic record being submitted to state • Utilize extended data corrections window to update/correct data through the last allowed date • Last day of testing in May

  6. What is Mobility and How Can we Know Whether it is Accurate?

  7. What is Mobility? • CBEDS Date: First Wednesday in October • School, CBEDS% of students who were counted as part of the school enrollment on the October CBEDS data collection, and who have been continuously enrolled since that date to the date of STAR Program testing • Used for inclusion/exclusion mobility rules AND for similar schools ranks • LEA, CBEDS% of students who were counted as part of the LEA enrollment on the October CBEDS data collection, and who have been continuously enrolled since that date to the date of STAR Program testing • used for inclusion/exclusion mobility rules

  8. Why Do Scores From Mobile Students Not Count for API and AYP? If a student is enrolled from CBEDS until the first day of testing, California considers him/her to have been enrolled in a school for a “full academic year.” The same criterion is used for LEAs. Federal and state accountability only use results from students in which a school/district had the opportunity to provide a continuous education for the school year.

  9. Schools or districts cannot take credit for students they did not provide a continuous education to Schools or districts are not held accountable for students they did not provide a continuous education to

  10. Inaccurate CBEDS/Mobility Reporting *CBEDS Yes = Continuously enrolled from first Wednesday in October 2009 until the first day of testing (May 2010)

  11. Three Year Reported Mobility Rates and 2011 Percent of Low Income Students

  12. American Community Survey (ACS) “The American Community Survey (ACS) is an annual national survey collected monthly which provides communities with reliable and timely demographic, housing, social, and economic data every year. Annual data on Migration is used to determine the extent of residential mobility of the population for the U.S., states, metropolitan areas, and more specific geographical areas for the given survey year. Data are available from 2000 to the present.” Survey results show the percent of people that live in the same house as they did the prior year. This is similar to school districts’ measures of mobility. http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/ADPGeoSearchByListServlet?ds_name=ACS_2009_5YR_G00_&_lang=en&_ts=335276417580

  13. Sources: Census Residential Mobility (Same House One Year) (http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/ADPGeoSearchByListServlet?ds_name=ACS_2009_5YR_G00_&_lang=en&_ts=335276417580) 2011 District Mobility (http://data1.cde.ca.gov/dataquest/)

  14. LEUSD Mobility Range = 77.1 to 80.9 79 – 1.9 = 77.1; 79 + 1.9 = 80.9

  15. Mobility Summary • Mobile students do not count for API or AYP • Mobile students count in all other reports that teachers and admin. look at • Little change in district reported mobility rates from 2010 to 2011 • 2010: 80-96% • 2011: 79-96% • Looking at multiple sources of data, most districts appear to be underreporting mobility • Districts reported, on average 93% non-mobile, versus census results of 82% • LEUSD was within the margin of error of percent of district residents not moving in one year (2010 and 2011) • Looking at what is reported at the student level, we know districts are not report accurately in all cases • Working with other districts, we have clearly seen students being mismarked

  16. API and AYP 2006 to 2008Impact of District Mobility

  17. LEUSD Mobility Tracking and Data Reporting

  18. Mobility Tracking • Student movement in and out of schools and district monitored daily • Site personnel collect and submit the students who enter and exit the school • Registrar, Attendance Clerk, Office Staff • Information is submitted by each site to ISS each Tuesday • Principal signs off as to the accuracy of the mobility report • Students who enter a school between CBEDS date and the first day of STAR testing are “School CBEDS No” • Scores do not count for school, may count for district • Students who enter the district between CBEDS date and the first day of STAR testing are “District CBEDS No” • Scores do not count for district or any school • All students test, regardless of mobility

  19. LEUSD Instructional Model • Know details of all students (Ongoing String Data) • Subgroup inclusion • Previous achievement • Strengths and Weaknesses • Evaluate student progress on a continual basis • Teach standards – not textbooks – from first day of instruction • Teach all assessed standards – all standards are “key, essential” standards • Freedom to teach -- Not tied to any specific materials • Teachers have flexibility/expectation to create creative, relevant lessons that allow their specific students to understand the content standards • Focus on results, not process Know targets and understand accountability systems
